Yes, this does contain adware!
I had to check out BitTwiddler's claim. Amazing - good catch BitTwiddler. This is pasted straight from their Eula:

"# Information Automatically Logged

Sometimes advertisers may use third party banner servers to display banners on our site. These servers are not under Netcraft's control.

MY IP ADDRESS MAY BE USED TO DISPLAY REGIONAL ADVERTISING BANNERS??? Isn't that the same sort of deception that defines phishing? Very clever, but it's straight to the shredder for this one.
